Who would you start? Could be a tricky one, with them being unbeaten in 5 league games.
Personally Id love to see Crouch up front given his recent record in the cup(s), but it has to be Berahino surely?
Grant plus first team regulars + Bera

Full strength team. Really tricky game and it's a cup we can win. At most Grant for Butland and maybe Sobhi/Berahino for someone like Jese.....

I think Sobhi needs to come in. He played well against Rochdale and he also needs minutes. Depending on fitness: -
Grant
Shawcross Wimmer BMI
Tymon Sohbi (or Diouf ideally it would have been Edwards)
Adam Fletcher
Jese (or Sobhi if we don't want to risk Jese) Choupo
Bera (or Crouch)
Still want to see Verlinden, Souttar and maybe NGoy in the squad.

I'd go 4-4-2 with the personnel we have available. We have good personnel available for a difficult tie. Why would we want to go and change our shape again? Bristol City are playing well and are a Championship team. Nobody's pushover! We shall need to put out a good eleven. IMO:- Grant, Zooma, Martins-Indi, Wimmer, Sobhi, Tymon, Allen, Fletcher, Adam, Crouch Berahino Subs: Choupo, Jese, Shaqiri, Verlinden, NGoy, Butland, Souttar

Anyone picking that team in a very tough away fixture in a competition we should be aspiring to win is pretty mental in my opinion......

They seem to have picked up in form. So I'd play:
Grant (never lets us down so ok to play I think) Zouma and two from Shawcross Wimmer Indi Sobhi Cameron (we will have to manage Fletcher's game time - he tailed off last season when playing every game apparently) Allen Pieters Berahino Choupo-Moting Jese
Adam, Crouch and/or Shaq could perhaps be slotted in for starts, and deffo swop in if we're struggling. But we need to negotiate a tough game.

It's cup suicide is what it is Adam, Verlinden, Souttar and Edwards as subs would be fine but I wouldn't put them in a starting XI for an away game what will be much tougher than the Rochdale game I'd start Berahino though, really really needs a goal, and Sobhi should play too. Tymon, hmm, he didn't do bad at all against Rochdale. Worth a go? Possibly.

I don't think there will be wholesale changes but I think he will give Tymon a game following his impressive performance against Rochdale. Also I think he will rest Fletcher and play Charlie Adam. Grant, Sobhi and either one of Berehino or Crouch will also feature. The likes of Edwards and Verlinden may be on the bench but I don't think will start. It wouldn't surprise me if Bristol City rest some of their players as well.

needs to be pretty strong Id say with only players carrying knocks left out unless Bristol are playing their reserves .
I'd maybe give Jese and Shaq a rest as their skills may be better suited to Chelsea but keep them on the bench if required

Not sure I'd play Crouch considering their defender (Flint) is the same size as him. Time for Berahino to get his season going.

Grant Johnson Zouma Bruno Wimmer Tymon Adam Allen Jese Sobhi Berahino Like this. Rests for key players (in particular Fletcher) and gives game time to players who need it - particularly Berahino and Jesse who hopefully can pick up where they left off against arsenal. I'd also stick with 5 at the back so that everyone in the squad can slot into the system.

Our potential 2nd team still looks good enough to win
Grant Souttar Shawcross BMI
Edwards Adam Ireland Tymon
Sobhi Berahino Verlinden
Not saying we should play them but its not a bad team. Only weakness is central midfield where we only have Adam as viable back-up at the moment

Post by chiswickpotter on Sept 13, 2017 12:31:48 GMT
With injury doubts over Shawcross and Cameron, and Zouma not available for Chelsea, we need to try and protect our centre backs and centre midfield so I would go
Grant Johnson, Zouma Indi/Wimmer (half each) Ramadan Adam Fletcher/Allen (half each) Tymon Shaq Berahino Choupo

No point resting Zouma as he can't play against Chelsea anyway. Gives Shaqiri, Fletcher, Shawcross and Allen a rest plus a good chance for Tymon and Ramadan to start
